Hi, @meno
We had that discussion among members of the extended family via whatsapp and it certainly looked as of Croatia had more merits to win the championship, not only for what they did to the get finals, but also for what they did at least the half of the game. Two unfortunate plays gave France the upperhand, but then, i guess experience or reputation played in; the psychological effect, as you mentioned, not only demoralizing Croatia, but aggrandizing France.
I think that unlike the team that raised the cup 20 years ago, this french team did have merits on the field. If they remain healthy and united, they may repeat in 4 years (or at least avoid the curse Germany experienced in this WC).

My opinion as well... the game could have easily been 2 - 2 aside from what i think were not great calls.
